The Raiders are building a $1.8 billion stadium with $750 million in public money from Southern Nevada and it will be ready by summer 2020 when the NFL team starts playing in the venue that will have 107 suites, 62,228 seats and 1.5 million square feet. It will sit on a 62.5-acre site on the west side of Interstate 15 across from Mandalay Bay.
Here are the milestones in a construction schedule to keep you up to date.
This schedule was submitted by Raiders stadium executive Don Webb to the local Las Vegas stadium authority for Thursday’s meeting. (It should be noted the stadium authority’s website lists the meeting’s materials, including a “personal seat license marketing plan” but when a reader tries to click the link for the PSL marketing plan it is not available.)
